Dana Perino yesterday, on the 4,000-deaths-in-Iraq milestone:

And the President assures (the families of the fallen) that he is committed to staying and fighting and winning. And one of the reasons he’s taking such careful deliberation over the next few weeks as we lead up to the April time frame is because he wants to make sure that the gains that we have secured over this past year are cemented and that we lay the foundation for Iraq to have a democracy where they can govern, sustain and defend itself (sic) right there in the Middle East.

As opposed to what? Governing, sustaining and defending “itself” in Europe or in Africa? Or, hang on a second, in some alternate universe?

And he’s “taking such careful deliberation over the next few weeks”, but he didn’t in the past few weeks? Because he didn’t yet want to make sure that the gains that we have secured over this past year are cemented?

Between sheer dumb-blonde stupidity and brazenly deliberate lying, does anything Dana Perino says these days make any sense at all? What kind of idiot would keep her on as White House Press Secretary? But she continues to serve, so she’s presumably still pleasuring the president.
